There was no problem with unit operation however I was wondering if an item had an issue in the past and therefore more than likely have another issue in the future does the consumer have the right to know without asking.
Let's saying you are selling a pair of speakers and you blew out a driver and it had to be replaced. The customer comes to your house. They play beautifully. The customer does not ask you if there have been any problems and takes them home. Later he finds out from the company that a driver had been replaced on one of the speakers. If he knew he would have had more info on making a decision. This might give pause for the purchase or try to negotiate a better price. Is that simply a case of sorry Charlie you didn't ask enough questions? Why should the dealer tell you if he makes a faster better deal without full disclosure on his part.
